Webster Farm records, circa 1900 - 1950Manuscript MS-1253

Introduction

The Webster farm, located in Canaan, NH, was founded in 1779 by Joseph Flint a merchant
from Newburyport, MA and passed through two more hands by 1865 when George W. Davis
purchased the farm. By the 1880's the farm was successfully operating as a dairy farm
serving the Boston market through the nearby railroad. Around 1900 the farm house
and buildings burned and was rebuilt. The farm was operated by Davis' decedents until
1995 when it was sold.
